Action Comabt

Gods and Heroes: Rome Rising™ will implement the most visually stunning and visceral combat system of any MMOG. Our Node-Lock™ animation technology allows all characters - human, creature, beast - to execute real attacks and defenses and have them truly impact their opponent physically. As players progress in the game, they will earn and learn new Feats - attacks, defenses, and combat special moves - that come with their own unique animations. Enemies will also have a set of combat special moves that they will execute mercilessly to turn the tide of battle

Squad Combat

Before battle players will:

*Strategically select and train their NPC Soldiers in a variety of skills and abilities
*Form specific NPC Soldiers into squads to meet specific challenges
*Devise strategies and create formations for these squads to execute on command -- maximizing the unique skills and abilities of each squad

During battle players will:

*Personally participate in the battle through the melee combat of their Hero Character
*Analyze the tide of the over-all battle and react in real-time
*"Shout out" squad formation commands and special move commands to take advantage of perceived weaknesses
*Find the combination and timing of strategies, formations, attacks and defenses that will bring a victory...with the fewest squad casualties

Every moment of battle will be engaging and demanding. Success in battle will be truly determined by the skill and capability of the player, and every player will find combat highly engaging and dynamic: this is no "click and walk away" system.
